How long does severe sunburn last?

Message 1 of 1

Last weekend I went to the Jersey shore to get what I thought would be a good tan. Like a complete idiot I used a low spf sun block on my legs and only applied it one time. Now my legs are burnt to a crisp, my right leg seems to be recovering faster then my left leg. The skin feels so tight that I want to cry, the only way I can walk is to take large quantities of asprin or ibubrophen. Iam starting to develop blisters on my left ankle. So far its been four days since my stupidity and the pain doesnt seem to want to subside. Not too mention my left ankle is swollen. Has anyone out there ever gone through this kind of agony? and if so how long did it take to heal? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks, Bruce
